Default oil pump relief valve shims

Where can I get relief valve shims? I have a new LS6 pump that I will be porting and I would like to shim. looking for .100 shims.

Do you have 5 old roller lifters? If you do, take them apart and under the plunger is a .020 shim that is perfect for this. You can also go to the hardware store and get 2 each #8 washers. They are about .047 each which gets you almost to where you want to be.
